Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 330 Thank you
Hearing Zhao Yue's request, Li Xiangming was very surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you want to be buried with my master?"

Zhao Yue said sadly, "Everyone needs a final resting place. When my master was young, she greatly admired Uncle-Master Green Cloud. Although they later fell out, I know she regretted it in her heart. Now that she is dead, it's better to fulfill her regret."

Li Xiangming listened intently, and it took him a while to understand the whole story.

Originally, Fairy Green Cloud and Fairy Good Cloud grew up together, relied on each other, and had a very close relationship.

However, at some point, Fairy Green Cloud suddenly changed her personality, becoming engrossed in cultivating Taoist arts and neglecting Fairy Good Cloud.

Li Xiangming guessed that it was probably Master Zhijing who revealed his identity and instructed Fairy Lvyun to find the Enlightenment Spring.

Knowing that Master Zhijing's days were numbered, Fairy Green Cloud took on her master's last wish and was determined to seek revenge on Master Shuijing, so she dared not slacken in the slightest.

But in Fairy Shanyun's view, the situation was quite different.

Despite being of similar age, talent, and cultivation level to her senior sister, Master Zhijing favored passing on his Taoist arts to Fairy Green Cloud instead of the equally outstanding Master Zhijing.

The key point is that Fairy Green Cloud accepted all of this calmly.

This was hard for Fairy Shanyun, who always considered herself her younger sister, to accept.

In order to prove that Master Zhijing's choice was wrong, Fairy Shanyun compared herself to Fairy Lüyun in every way.

However, how could Fairy Green Cloud, who received all the teachings from Master Zhijing, be compared to Fairy Good Cloud?

After Master Zhijing returned to Longyuan Sect, the conflict between the two intensified completely. In a fit of anger, Fairy Shanyun left her senior sister and sought her own way out.

But not long after, Fairy Shanyun regretted it. However, she was too proud to admit it and refused to see her senior sister for decades. She even established the Shanyun Sect, intending to surpass her senior sister's Green Cloud Cave.

After the fall of Shanyun Sect, she hesitated for a long time before returning to Green Cloud Cave, only to be kicked out by Green Cloud Fairy.

This enraged Fairy Shanyun, who then plotted to annex Green Cloud Cave.

However, this was merely a means for her to retaliate against her senior sister, not because she truly coveted the spiritual veins of Green Cloud Cave.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangming couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, deep emotion).

If Fairy Green Cloud had been willing to coax her junior sister, Green Cloud Cave might have already gained a loyal Foundation Establishment cultivator.

With their combined efforts and the advantage of the formation, the two might be able to isolate the Mang Sect and the Ouyang family outside the cave.

Unfortunately, no if.

Li Xiangming didn't know how Fairy Shanyun viewed her senior sister, but in Li Xiangming's opinion, his cheap master was ruthless and could even possess his disciple's body. The so-called brotherhood was nothing but a joke.

Perhaps Fairy Shanyun longed for her senior sister's approval, but Fairy Luyun was only focused on the path of cultivation; she only wanted to go further.

In her heart, Fairy Shanyun had always been a rival, or even a stepping stone.

She couldn't keep him by her side; what if he discovered the Enlightenment Spring she had been searching for?
The secret of the Enlightenment Spring is the root cause of their growing estrangement.

Even if Fairy Green Cloud left a will, it's impossible for her to mention Fairy Good Cloud.

The idea of ​​burying the two together was merely Zhao Yue's wishful thinking.

If Fairy Green Cloud knew this from beyond the grave, she would only feel disgusted. And if Fairy Kind Cloud saw this, how could she possibly continue their sisterly bond?
However, both of them are dead now, and the meaning of the dead is given by the living.

Li Xiangming did not refute Zhao Yue, but instead showed a troubled expression: "The Star Absorbing Village is not easy to deal with."

“I will deal with Star Absorbing Village after I reach Foundation Establishment. As long as your Li family provides spirit stones, Star Absorbing Village will most likely not refuse. I have 20 spirit stones here. If that's not enough, I will make up double later.”

As she spoke, Zhao Yue handed over a small, fragrant cloth bag.

Li Xiangming weighed the situation. This amount of spirit stones was not enough to feed the Star-Absorbing Village, but Zhao Yue was probably also in dire straits during this period, otherwise she would have already asked Long Yang to move out of Qiyun Pavilion.

He didn't put it away immediately, but sighed, "I can't guarantee that Uncle Shanyun's body is still there."

Zhao Yue remained silent for a long time before slowly exhaling: "If we can't find it, then forget it."

Hearing this, Li Xiangming put away the small cloth bag: "It's good that you know what's going on."

After Fairy Green Cloud forced the Mang Sect to retreat, she left in a hurry. The other disciples of Green Cloud Cave were too busy escaping to care about the corpses on the battlefield.

Moreover, before they could all escape, the Star-Absorbing Village stormed into the Green Cloud Cave.

The body of Fairy Shanyun naturally fell into the hands of the Star-Absorbing Village.

However, so much time has passed, and Fairy Shanyun's body has either been sold to cultivators who practice the Corpse Path, buried haphazardly somewhere, left to rot in the wilderness, or even burned on the spot. In any of these cases, the possibility of it remaining intact in the hands of the Star Absorbing Village is much greater.

Zhao Yue should understand this as well.

The only reason I came to find him was because of a lingering thought.

"correct!"

Suddenly remembering something, Li Xiangming handed over a jade pendant and said, "Min Ning entrusted me to give this to you."

He couldn't discern anything special about this thing with his divine sense, but judging from its appearance, it should be quite remarkable.

Zhao Yue glanced at them, a cold glint in her eyes: "Tell them I don't need it."

"Oh."

Li Xiangming didn't ask any further questions and put the jade pendant away.

He had never promised to give this thing away; Min Ning was only willing to give him some flowers and plants to appease him, so naturally he wouldn't bother with Min Ning's affairs.

"Is there anything else, Miss Zhao?"

Seeing that Zhao Yue neither accepted the jade pendant nor spoke, and simply stood there, Li Xiangming couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Yue hesitated for a long time before finally managing to say, "I knocked you into the water back then, but I heard that you saved me in Green Cloud Cave. I want to thank you."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangming was stunned.

After a while, he looked at Zhao Yue, whose face was flushed, with great interest.

He didn't expect Zhao Yue to thank him.

To be honest, he didn't know Zhao Yue's identity at the time, which is why he saved her by mistake.

But there's no need to clear up this misunderstanding.

The favor owed by a disciple of a Golden Core cultivator will likely come in handy in the future.

"You're too kind, Miss Zhao."

Li Xiangming chuckled and said insincerely, "Our two families should be one family. The conflict between Master and Uncle should not extend to us."

Zhao Yue's face turned even redder.

She relentlessly pursued Li Xiangming, but he not only didn't hold a grudge, he also saved her life.

She felt ashamed.

Seeing this, Li Xiangming quickly inquired about Zhao Yue's life at Xinyuan Peak.

A moment later, the two became much closer.

Zhao Yue said in a low voice, "I heard that my junior brother is also going with you. He is not a bad person by nature, so please don't make things difficult for him."

"Please rest assured, Miss Zhao, I treat everyone equally."

Li Xiangming responded with a smile.

Zhao Yue nodded and turned to leave.

"Master, I've brought you something delicious."

On Jiming Mountain, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old was carrying a giant, jet-black snake on his shoulder and making a racket everywhere.

Upon seeing this, Granny Lai, who was quietly weeding the spirit field, immediately cursed, "Zhang Can, look at the good disciple you've taught! Last time he was almost poisoned to death by the Black Yin Bone, and this time he's provoking them again. I wonder if Daoist Xie will still save him in the future!"

Zhang Can put down the cleaver in his hand, glanced at the excited Nangong Mu, and said with a headache, "This kid is not someone I taught. He's fearless to the core, and it's just made things difficult for us."

Before Zhang Can could finish speaking, Nangong Mu jumped in front of him, threw the giant snake down, and kicked up clouds of dust. The Five Scattered Sect disciples who were slaughtering monsters all covered their faces, coughed, and cursed loudly.

Zhang Can spat, picked up Nangong Mu, and flicked him on the head: "You only feel satisfied when you're causing trouble for me, right?"

Nangong Mu covered his head and said with a grin, "Master, hurry up, I want to eat snake gall!"
